? Finally, in other “me” news, I’ve been asked quite a bit about my twittering. So here’s the deal: I’m not much of a “here’s what I’m doing” twitterer. Honestly, I turn off my email and web browser most of the day so I can just get work done. However, I realize that twitter does have it’s place. So, for me, I’m using it to just let people know what content I produce. I have something new just about every day (Photoshop User TV, DTown TV, PS Killer Tips, etc…). So that’s what I twitter about. If you want to keep up with it you can follow me here. Thanks

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing! The post processing and each single step in itself was nothing new to me, but the workflow you’re using is a bit different and more effective. Also, I had no knowledge of the smart editing option bridge between Lightroom and Photoshop – that was a big a-ha to me. That will save me lots of time from exporting, re-importing and so on. Thanks again!

My good friends at Lens Pro to Go (Paul & Tony) will be pumped to see you have a link on your site for them. They are a great bunch. I live about 25 minutes away from them. They have a great setup over there.

Matt:
I`ve recently converted a camera to IR, and am looking for LR presets or advice on how to work on these images in LR and PS. Have you written on this? Do you have any presets for these types of images?

hey, you forgot to say you’ll be in Dubai soon, too I live in the region and NEVER would have known about the event if I hadn’t read it on Zack’s blog. Looking forward to seeing you in action in Dubai!

I don’t usually comment much but I wanted to say awesome job with the ePhoto WP Theme… Alot of people frown at the use of WordPress as a CMS… I love it! cant really tell its a WP theme unless you look real close

I have placed this on the Adobe LR forum with no results so I thought I would try here. I use LR every day and have for the last 2.5 years. None of these problems have appeared in the past. They began appearing 3-4 weeks ago when editing images in LR2 version 2.6 and additional new ones seem show up every few days. I work on a one year old iMac 24 and iBook 13.5 with Snow Leopard and have about 10,000 images on the iMac in one catalog and 3,500 in the iBook. The problems only show up on my iMac and started when I began using various Collections to sort and edit abou1200 bird images taken during that time. The first problem showing up was that the Space Bar stopped working to toggel for zooming (in all modules). It would still toggel to the grabber from the cursor to move the image around but not for zooming. The ?z? key continues to work as a zoom toggel. The next thing that happened was that the ?splat delete? function (command-option-shift-delete) inside the collections stopped deleting multiple selected images and would only delete them one at a time. When this first happened I ?x? flagged my proposed deletions and selected the images in the Collections, switched to a selected keyword that included the images from the Collection and deleted all of the selected ones using Command-Delete. This worked for a day or so and now only this key combination only deletes them one at a time. I have also found that some images that are selected in don?t automatically deselect any more when I move to other functions. All of these have workarounds but I?m thinking that with the problems increasing, something more is going on. Other problems showed up involving using multiple selections in the grid mode. Should I reinstall LR2.6 by downloading from Adobe and reinstalling, restart from a Backup Catalog, or limp along until LR3 shows up. Any suggestions?
